There have been times when people have criticized me for sending out  
messages that contain negative information about people.  The accusation  is that 
what I sent out is Loshon Harah, and I am not allowed to disseminate  such 
information.  They claim that even if the information is widely  known and has 
appeared in the media,  one is not allowed to distribute it  further. In light of 
this, I present the commentary of RSRH on what Shimon and  Levi did as it 
appears in the new translation of his commentary to Bereshis  34: 25 - 31.



>>>>
According to the Chofetz Chaim, negative  information may be disseminated for 
certain kinds of to'eles.  To derive  from the Torah commentary of a tzaddik 
and great Torah scholar some kind of  blanket permission to spread negative 
information about Jews is really quite a  stretch.  There is also a tone of 
disrespect towards RSRH in the very title  of this thread.
